NEW TERRORISTS The applause was sustained, the praise was effusive When they said “oligarchy, but make it inclusive” Fill the Senate to the brim with some former DAs So they can hobnob with the KKK Joey the careerist, he was tough on crime So he found a running mate that takes out her own kind Out condemning cops for murdering black men She’s just mad she couldn’t give them 7 to 10 Single moms work double shifts Just so they can feed their kids Prosecuting parents for truancy Dad’s in jail, nonviolent crime Mommy’s facing hefty fines Prosecuting parents for truancy When you side with the jails Everything looks like a nail The applause was sustained, the praise was effusive When they said “oligarchy, but make it inclusive” Fill the Senate to the brim with some former DAs So they can hobnob with the KKK Joey the careerist, he was tough on crime So he found a running mate that takes out her own kind Someone who interpret’s Joey’s bill just right When all you have is a hammer Everything looks like a nail Everybody makes mistakes When the moral compass breaks

RUDY 01:50
It’s not enough That you go senile In the unflattering light of the public eye It’s not enough that the sacs in your shitty lungs Overflow with disease ’til they drown in blood And it wouldn’t be enough if you burned alive On the 23rd floor in a high rise fire Or if you caught 19 rounds of lead While you reached for your wallet like Diallo did What if you starved to death in a foreign island detention camp? How could you make your appeal to the folks at home With your lawyer bugged and your assets froze? There’s no irony that you’ll die in a bed with a drip IV Instead of in the streets, torn apart like budget Mussolini Choking on your teeth, with the flag from your lapel rammed through your cheek One thing we have in common Our dogwhistles are shrill In fact, I think mine is broken And that you ought to be killed For the thousands who’ve suffered For the mothers who’ve mourned The grand foyer of Bracewell Should be smeared with your gore
4.
A LETTER BOMB TO THE N.Y. POST So what can you send In to the place that’s covered everything? Well it all seems stale When a ruined life hardly makes a sale Don’t gotta sell your soul ‘Cause I think this might fill the newshole It’s gonna do you proud Yeah I can see the fucking headlines now Bad news for the bad News To whom it may concern You play around with people’s lives You get what you deserve Toast the Post Kanpai! New York Roast A story you don’t have to write
5.
FUCK THE JONESES Send your children off to college Teach them young they have to earn their worth Buying into myths of merit Nothing to show from four years of debt Cowards fall in just like you did Technocrats are sanctioned criminals Well I hope the nursing homes Where you threw your parents away Have a shortage of nurses you pushed out of work And you finally get there And realize your dream was to die all alone Don’t wanna hear about the Sixties Don’t wanna hear about respect You don’t appreciate the violence Until it’s breathing down your neck
